Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialEffects of diclofenac and intra-articular morphine/bupivacaine on postarthroscopic pain control.
This study was undertaken to compare analgesic effects and requirements for supplemental analgesic therapy after knee arthroscopy in patients given intraarticular morphine/bupivacaine, diclofenac i.m., or both compared with placebo. ⋯ The combination of diclofenac i.m. and intraarticular morphine/bupivacaine appears to be the most beneficial analgesic combination due to its lower VAS scores and supplemental analgesic requirements in the postoperative period.
